Tenant Payment Plan Phasing Continuation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution extends emergency protections for tenants in Washington, D.C., requiring landlords to honor existing rent payment plans and keep related application records. It applies to both residential and commercial tenants who have not yet finished their payment agreements, ensuring landlords cannot report these payments as late to credit agencies. The bill also mandates that landlords continue to store tenant payment plan applications for at least three years. By declaring an emergency, the measure allows these rules to remain in effect without further legislative action.
